After I installed the Classic version of Eclipse, I found out that there was no option to start a C++ project. It didn't existed.

What I did then after opening Eclipse was: Help/Install New Software.. From the "Work with" list I selected all available. Then in "type filter text" I types C++ and downloaded the packages:

  • C/C++ Develpment Tools
  • C/C++ Develpment Tools SDK
  • C/C++ Library API Documentation Hover Help


After installing them I downloaded and Installed the MinGW compiler MinGW automated installer C and C++ options and added the path of the MinGW compiler (in my case C:\MinGW\bin) to the environment variable PATH of the computer. Also, I made a copy of the file mingw32-make.exe (C:\MinGW\bin) and renamed it to make.exe.

After that I restarted Eclipse and was able to create a C++ project, compile and run.
